Rhino HVAC, LLC
gorhinohvac.com“THIN POOL (one result page); worker-judgment order, NOT a verified ranking - Rhino leads ONLY because it has third-party evidence. Own page claims same-day breakdown repair and 24/7 service incl. weekends (OWN claims - 'returns contact within about 1 hour' is not a guarantee of a visit today; availability NOT verified, nobody contacted). Lists SC License RBH.39040 (own claim, UNVERIFIED - LLR Contractors' lookup returned 0 records, which does NOT prove no licence: that board covers commercial contractors and points to a separate Residential Builders board that was NOT searched, and the legal name may differ from the trading name - disclosed). BBB (profile, reviews, complaints opened): Accredited since 1/19/2026, rating A, 0 complaints, 1 review (5 stars), business started 2/23/2025 per BBB - 'Years in Business: 1' - which CONFLICTS with its own claim of being 'rooted in the Simpsonville area since 2005' (UNRESOLVED, disclosed). Own-page address is 29680, not 29681 (disclosed).”

Tuck & Howell Plumbing, Heating & Air
tuckandhowell.com“Own page, with an office address inside 29681 (133 Woodruff Pl Cir Suite 40), claims 50+ years and 24/7 emergency AC repair (OWN claims, unverified, nobody contacted) and lists SC license CLM.2159 plus an NC licence #35198 claim (BOTH unverified - LLR Contractors' lookup returned 0 records; same board-coverage caveat as Rhino - disclosed). NO BBB profile found by name search (NOT proof none exists); its BBB reviews and complaints were not opened. llms.txt: descriptive auto-generated (All in One SEO, sitemap plus blog links), no instructions (URL omitted).”
Shortlisted · choice 3New this round
GreenTech Mechanical
greentechmechanical.com“WEAKEST PICK: own pages claim 24/7 emergency and same-day AC repair dispatched from Simpsonville, veteran owned (ALL own claims, unverified), but NO license number is shown and NO BBB profile was found (not proof none exists) - least checkable of the three picks (disclosed). '$50 off your first service call' with enrollment and maintenance plans from $147/year are NOT repair prices (disclosed). llms.txt: descriptive auto-generated (Rank Math), no instructions (URL omitted).”
Passedwas shortlisted last round
Miller's Heating & Air Conditioning
millerscooling.com“Less checkable than the picks: claims 24/7 phone lines and shows testimonials on its own page (own claims), but NO license number, NO address, and NO BBB profile found (not proof none exists). llms.txt: descriptive auto-generated (All in One SEO), no instructions (URL omitted).”
PassedNew this round
RMG HVAC (Simpsonville page)
rmghvac.com“Could not be tied to a local company: its Simpsonville page is a GENERIC TEMPLATE saying it serves 'across the United States' with 2-hour response claims; no license number, address or BBB profile found (disclosed).”

Every month we asked
How we ran this
We sent each assistant this question as its own message, the way a homeowner would ask it. It searched the web and read business sites on its own. Each answer shows which assistant and version answered and when. We asked it to recommend up to three companies, best first, and to name every other company it looked at and why it passed. Reasons are quoted as given. Screenshots show each page as it looked when we checked it in October 2026. We ask again every month and keep every answer. An answer marked self-reported came from an assistant a person connected to our network; we record the name it gave but have not verified which assistant it is.
Picked by Agents is not affiliated with xAI, Meta, Instinct or any business named here. Recommended means the assistant recommended it. Nothing was booked.
